Rented Portland House for a TV crew working in the area. Juliet was brilliant at sorting out our endless requests and the house itself is simply stunning and was perfect for our needs. I will have to stay here again. Johnny

Myself and one of my best friends (chief bridesmaids) organised a hen party here for our best friend (the bride). I can speak on everyones behalf that we all had an amazing weekend. The house is perfect, every attention to detail has been thought of.

There is a sound system that goes into every room downstairs if needed, the bar is very well equipped and the kitchen has everything you need, including 2 dishwashers which is great for big parties. As for the updtairs, the bedrooms are amazing, especially the 4 poster bed for the bride to be. All rooms were clean and beautifully decorated.

We want to come back every weekend!

For the last 7-8 years my university friends and I have been staying in large country houses together. This is by far the warmest (most scrimp on heating then charge you for using firewood) whereas here, the place felt warm and welcoming. The whole place is beautifully decorated with lovely wallpapers and soft paint colours in the rooms - no boring magnolia here: the design conscious, discerning boutique hotel visitor would feel happy here. One of my friends brought a potato peeler with her as we are so used to houses which - whilst technically having all the necessary kitchen equipment - drive you mad with their poor quality, blunt, dirty equipment. However in this case my friend who peels the potatoes left believing the kit at portland house was better than hers at home. To go somewhere where things just don't 'work' but work really well was a delightful change! To top it all off, we arrived to a hand written welcome card, some beautiful flowers and a box of chocolates. I have never been made to feel so welcome before. In addition, I made the stupid mistake of leaving my earrings behind and Juliet very kindly sent them on to me in London. Whenever I've left anything behind before (it has mysteriously disappeared) so again portland stand head and shoulders above in terms of their expedience and trustworthiness. I would without any hesitation wholeheartedly recommend portland house to anyone.

We stayed at Portland House this weekend and I would highly recommend it. We were a party of 19 girls. All of the bedrooms were beautifully decorated and most had an en suite - again very smart, clean and beautiful. A couple of the bedrooms were smaller and would probably be better for children but it didn't affect our stay. The house has a lovely kitchen and dining room and ample seating in the lounge and a cool bar/games room. Juliet and Martin the owners are extremely helpful and go out of their way to help you plan your stay at the house with v comprehensive recommendations of where to eat locally or services to use. We had a bespoke barman and chef come to the house and both were excellent. We had a superb weekend.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Portland House for our friend's hen weekend. The house itself was beautiful and definitely lived up to our high expectations. It was also incredibly well equipped and had everything that we needed. The bedrooms were really nicely done and the beds were so comfy.

The sitting room was great and accommodated all 19 of us easily but our favourite room was the house bar, which really added to the whole experience.

Martin and Juliet couldn't have been more helpful during the organisation and made loads of local recommendations of things to see, where to eat and activities to book. In the end we decided to go with the Clay Pigeon Shooting recommendation, the Fishpond for lunch and cocktail making in the evening in the house bar, all of which was fantastic.

I would highly recommend this for a hen party or just a large group or family gathering. We all hope to be back!
